I didn't send this message. My PC has been turned off since Wednesday evening as I'm currently in SC. I've been reading and responding to email via SnapperMail on my Treo 300.
My email address has been cloned by a spammer (happens often).

The message referred to was a malicious virus attack on all of the members of OneDropRule by someone forging James Landrith's email address. I hope that nobody opened it.
To avoid this happening again, I am now in the process of moving the OneDropRule discussion board to a more secure place (with a faster interface).
In the meantime, I suggest that everyone be as cautious with ODR messages as you are with any other messages. Don't open zip files. Don't open executables of any sort.
Also, in the meantime, I am disabling message attachments. This means that if you want to show everyone a picture of your latest, for instance, just upload it to the files and photos areas, the way that Tyrone does with his music files.
